Clarification about Application runinfo opmon data

[alessandrothea]

Application published the dunedaq::rcif::opmon::RunInfo from run control interface, that includes information like running state, run_number and run_time.
Since the Application code doesn't have any concept of "run" it doesn't seem very appropriate for this information to be published here.
Also, why does the information focusses on the "running" state, instead of the present state and time spent in this state?
Why is the run number a relevant information to publish at Application level?
