External application and make a blocking API call to wait for a state execution to complete.

To wait for a workflow state execution to complete, the stateExecutionId must be provided as waitForCompletionStateExecutionIds in the startWorkflowOptions.

Then use client.waitForStateExecution(stateExecutionId) API to wait for the completion.

See this example in Java integ test.

Note1: the state that is waited for, must be registered to the workflowOptions on startWorkflow API. This is a limitation until https://github.com/indeedeng/iwf/issues/349

Note2: that currently, this feature cannot be used with reusing workflowId for more than one executions. See https://github.com/indeedeng/iwf/issues/404 for improvement which require a new field in Temporal API: https://github.com/temporalio/temporal/issues/6348
