Right. Specifically we need to address bugs #803 and #804, which both
stem from this same issue - removing a course leaves references and
link lingering.

Janne, could you fix the state_url code? All course specific
references from the URL and from server should be removed as
appropriate. Probably we shouldn't try to do this when a course is
being removed, but rather use exception handlers whenever we try to
look up stuff from a course based on the state. An error will cleanly
and quietly remove the reference from state.
