Create MessageListenerTest.java

Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):
```java
package com.testcontainers.demo;

import static org.assertj.core.api.Assertions.assertThat;
import static org.awaitility.Awaitility.await;
import static org.testcontainers.containers.localstack.LocalStackContainer.Service.S3;
import static org.testcontainers.containers.localstack.LocalStackContainer.Service.SQS;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.time.Duration;
import java.util.UUID;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.BeforeAll;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.boot.test.context.SpringBootTest;
import org.springframework.test.context.DynamicPropertyRegistry;
import org.springframework.test.context.DynamicPropertySource;
import org.testcontainers.containers.localstack.LocalStackContainer;
import org.testcontainers.junit.jupiter.Container;
import org.testcontainers.junit.jupiter.Testcontainers;
impo
```

Here's what the test does

@SpringBootTest starts the full Spring application context. The Testcontainers JUnit 5 annotations @Testcontainers and @Container manage the lifecycle of a LocalStackContainer instance. @DynamicPropertySource obtains the dynamic S3 and SQS endpoint URLs, region, access key, and secret key from the container, and registers them as Spring Cloud AWS configuration properties. @BeforeAll creates the required SQS queue and S3 bucket using the awslocal CLI tool that comes pre-installed in the LocalStack Docker image. The localStack.execInContainer() API runs commands inside the container. shouldHandleMessageSuccessfully() publishes a Message to the SQS queue. The listener receives the message and stores its content in the S3 bucket with the UUID as the key. Awaitility waits up to 10 seconds for the expected content to appear in the bucket.
