[Bug]: `rabbitmqadmin` is deprecated

What happened?

The code to automate setup of the rabbitmq:* docker containers uses the deprecated rabbitmqadmin utility. Team RabbitMQ attempted to update that utility to the officially supported one, but, due to differences in the command, will have to revert back to the unmaintained version.

Testcontainers should not be relying on these utilities to configure RabbitMQ, as it has other, better methods to do so. I'll open a PR to use the HTTP API directly.

Relevant log output

N/A

Additional Information

• Builder methods like 'withVhost', 'withUser', 'withPermission' broken in newest rabbitmq:4-management docker-library/rabbitmq#791
• Revert change to rabbitmqadmin docker-library/rabbitmq#792

Hi, version 2.0.0 introduced a new org.testcontainers.rabbitmq.RabbitMQContainer, which doesn't rely on rabbitmqadmin cli. Looks like you are still using org.testcontainers.containers.RabbitMQContainer instead of org.testcontainers.rabbitmq.RabbitMQContainer

[lukebakken]

Thank you for pointing that out! I will pass that information on to the user who reported the issue. This is my first exposure to this project 👍

@eddumelendez since I have your attention, would there be any interest in reviving the builder API to use the RabbitMQ HTTP API client? Or is this project moving away from container-specific APIs?

[eddumelendez]

Hi @lukebakken, yes, we are moving away from container-specific API as we are not mastering those technologies, unless those are really needed to start or configure the container. It also adds maintainance and if deprecated can cause confusion.
