Inform users of short URLs #85

Every course has a short URL that redirects a user to the active queue for that course (ex: https://edu.cs.illinois.edu/queue/cs225 ). Currently, we don't inform the users or course staff about the URL.

Possible solution: On the course view page (https://edu.cs.illinois.edu/queue/course/1) we can have a little bit at the bottom that tells them: Tip: You can always get to this courses queues directly by visiting https://edu.cs.illinois.edu/queue/cs225/ (or similar)

Alternatively, if our routing used short names, this may not be necessary.

Ex: https://edu.cs.illinois.edu/queue/queue/59 -> https://edu.cs.illinois.edu/queue/cs225/queue/59
