This PR modifies the cell state machine to count the cell as "running" when output formatters are running.
Sometimes formatters can take a very long time — today, this happens when outputting a very large list or dict. Before this change, formatters that took a long time would lock the kernel without any UI indication in the frontend, making the notebook appear to be broken.
This has the side-effect of making a formatter interruptible, which is helpful if the formatter is taking a very long time to run.
Re: lists/dicts formatting, we should probably lists/dicts/tuples when outputting very large ones, to avoid locking the kernel, but can handle that in another PR.
Draft because haven't tested thoroughly.
