Superset Dev

Adds four more dialects to the testcontainers suite (cockroachdb, crate, trino from the initial pilot): mssql, oracle, db2, elasticsearch. All four have native testcontainers-python container classes. Restructures the workflow from one job running the whole suite to a matrix, one job per dialect, running in parallel. A single slow container would otherwise inflate wall-clock time for every dialect, not just its own -- matrixing bounds total suite time by the slowest dialect instead of the sum of all of them. Also renames the workflow file/name from "Nightly-Testcontainers" to "Testcontainers" now that it runs on pull_request (scoped via `paths`) in addition to the nightly cron. Elasticsearch needed a different data-setup approach than the SQL-native dialects: indices/documents get created via its REST API, not SQL INSERT, matching how Superset actually encounters Elasticsearch in practice. Confirmed empirically that Elasticsearch's SQL layer has no OFFSET support at all (a real protocol limitation, already correctly documented via ElasticSearchEngineSpec.supports_offset = False) and adjusted that dialect's pagination test accordingly -- LIMIT/ORDER BY only, no OFFSET. mssql and db2 could not be verified locally (no arm64 images for either; this environment is Apple Silicon), same situation as crate's amd64-only image from the initial pilot. Both are written against verified library source (dialect names, connection URL construction) and will get their first real execution on CI.
