### Apache Airflow version

2.5.1

### What happened

I'd expect the `scheduler.tasks.running` metric to represent the number of running tasks, but it is always zero. It appears that #10956 broke this when it removed [the line that increments `num_tasks_in_executor`](https://github.com/apache/airflow/pull/10956/files#diff-bde85feb359b12bdd358aed4106ef4fccbd8fa9915e16b9abb7502912a1c1ab3L1363). Right now that variable is set to 0, never incremented, and the emitted as a gauge.

### What you think should happen instead

`scheduler.tasks.running` should either represent the number of tasks running or be removed altogether.
