List Machine Status in Cloud Review Notifications

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
As a user reading the slack notifications from the Cloud Review task I'd like to see if any of the listed cloud instances is in a running or shut down state.
Describe the solution you'd like
Add a 'State' field to the slack message showing "Running" or "Shut down".
Describe alternatives you've considered
Manually checking the state. Extra effort that kinda negates the usefulness of the "Cloud Review" task.
Additional context
It puts me in a more informed position when arguing with whomever created the instance. With the way things currently are I always have to check the control panel of $cloudprovider before heckling my colleagues about having left an instance running.
That would be a simple change. The task already tracks the state by name (e.g., running, shutting-down). The task does default to returning only instances that are still running, so most states would show "Running" in the message. However, there are arguments (aws_only_running and do_only_running) to check all instances, even those shut down, so there are cases where you might have non-running instances returned.
I've added an Instance State block to the Slack messages for teardown and untracked notifications. It'll be in the next release from the v4-1-dev branch.
