Add persistent container test coverage

[Copilot]

Description

Adds test coverage for persistent container behavior so the branch can be validated before it is marked ready for review.

This change:

• Adds a CLI end-to-end test that verifies Redis, PostgreSQL, and Azure Storage emulator data persists across AppHost runs when resources use persistent lifetime.
• Adds shared functional-test helpers that assert persistent resources reuse the same container across AppHost runs.
• Adds persistent lifetime container reuse coverage across supported container-backed integrations.
• Adds Azure RunAsEmulator mode coverage for run vs. publish behavior.

Validation: Not run in this session; opening as draft for validation.

Pull request overview

Adds automated coverage to validate “persistent lifetime” behavior for container-backed resources across AppHost restarts, plus targeted Azure emulator mode assertions, and a CLI end-to-end persistence scenario.

Changes:

• Introduces a shared test helper to assert persistent resources reuse the same underlying container across AppHost runs.
• Adds per-integration functional tests covering persistent lifetime container reuse (Redis/Postgres/etc.) and Azure Storage emulator persistence.
• Adds Azure RunAsEmulator run-vs-publish mode tests and a CLI E2E test that verifies data persists across restarts.
