What happened?

Hi,
please take a look at repo to reproduce at https://github.com/bedla/reproduce-graalvm-native-springboot-testcontainers
You can see that when running GraalVM native image, check for mount is failing.
It looks like that it is becase of prefix resource:.
Seems that there is missing pefix removal at org.testcontainers.utility.MountableFile#unencodeResourceURIToFilePath method?
Thank you
Ivos

• [Bug]: Using org.testcontainers:mysql will report an error as mysqld failed while attempting to check config in GraalVM Native Image #7954
• Cannot open native image resource using Path, NativeImageResourceFileSystemProvider not initialised oracle/graal#7682
• https://github.com/Kehrlann/native-image-resource-fs/blob/main/src/test/java/wf/garnier/nativeimage/FilesystemTests.java

Seems that file (or dir tree) embedded into GraalVM native-image has to be extracted to temp-dir and mounted, like currently org.testcontainers.utility.MountableFile#extractClassPathResourceToTempLocation is doing the same with files inside .jar.
