Description
This is not a bug but just a small user experience improvement.
When we get the status of execution using the st2 cli time is mentioned in seconds it would be nice to print time in a user-friendly format.
ex: running (339s elapsed), could be: running (5m39s elapsed)
I'll try to make a pr with the changes if its okay.

Research direction
Start by locating the StackStorm st2 CLI output for execution status and reproduce the seconds-based elapsed time shown in the issue. Update the status display so elapsed durations use a user-friendly format such as 5m39s, then verify the resulting output with the CLI status command.
