Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently the web UI will show "Running" for cron workflows which are created but not yet started as they are not yet due. This isn't ideal for developers as you can't tell without clicking through to the workflow whether it is actually running.

Describe the solution you'd like
It would be better if the web UI was able to refer to the state rather than just the status. Temporal knows that the workflow is created but not yet started, the persistence record has "created" as the state. The state field isn't currently exposed via the Temporal APIs at all, which means this information is not available via tctl either.
