Bug: `raise_on_exit` feature of `wait_for_logs` does not work as expected

[mschmitzer]

Describe the bug

The raise_on_exit feature of wait_for_logs does not work as expected because it

• considers the container "exited" when it is still in the "created" state immediately after being started
• because it does not refresh the container state in the wait loop, so it will never see a change of state

To Reproduce

from testcontainers.core.container import DockerContainer
from testcontainers.core.waiting_utils import wait_for_logs

container = DockerContainer(image="postgres:16").with_env("POSTGRES_PASSWORD", "password")
container.start() ;
wait_for_logs(container, "something", raise_on_exit=True)
print(container.get_wrapped_container().status)
container.get_wrapped_container().reload()
print(container.get_wrapped_container().status)

The above code will raise "RuntimeError: Container exited before emitting logs satisfying predicate". This is not true, though, because the container does not exit. Checking container.get_wrapped_container().status as wait_for_logs does shows "created". This triggers the raise in wait_for_logs because that only accepts "running".

The second problem is visible here, too, because container.get_wrapped_container().status stays "created" even when the container is running. The wait_for_logs function would have to call reload on the wrapped container to actually see it change state and see when it does exit.
