[I] Resinstate DAG/Task state indicator icons [airflow]

nathadfield opened a new issue, #51653:
URL: https://github.com/apache/airflow/issues/51653

   ### Description
   
   With the transition to Airflow 3, the new UI is a significant step forward in terms of design and performance. However, one valuable feature from previous versions seems to have been removed — the colored status indicator circles on the DAGs overview page.
   
   These circles reflected the most recent DAGRun and task instance states within each DAG (e.g., running, queued, failed, up_for_retry, etc.), and provided an at-a-glance visual representation of DAG activity and health.
   
   In Airflow 3, the DAGs page now links to the latest DAG Run instead, but the quick-scan overview and sense of real-time operational status has been lost.
   
   ### Use case/motivation
   
   The previous indicator circles served several key purposes:
   
   - **Operational Visibility**: Engineers could quickly assess the health of many DAGs at once without needing to click into each DAG individually.
   
   - **Activity Awareness**: The presence and animation of these indicators conveyed system activity — something especially useful in busy production environments.
   
   - **Incident Triage**: During outages or issues, scanning the DAGs page helped identify failing DAGs or ones stuck in queued or up_for_retry state.
   
   - **Minimal Clicks**: The removal increases the number of interactions required to perform routine DAG monitoring.
   
   I personally found these very useful so I would love to see them return in some form.
