Improve diagnostics for failed container startup

[vpelikh]

• Include containerId in 'Container is removed' error message for better debugging
• Gracefully handle exceptions when retrieving logs from a removed container during cleanup
• Wrap stop() in try-catch to prevent cleanup failures from suppressing the original ContainerLaunchException

- Around line 556-559: In the exception-handling path around stop(), preserve
the current containerId in a local variable before invoking stop(), then use
that saved value in logger().debug instead of the field, which may be cleared by
stop().
- Around line 545-549: Update the catch logic in GenericContainer’s log
retrieval flow to handle NotFoundException separately with the “container not
found” message, while using an accurate generic error message for other
exceptions caught around getLogs().
