Liststate entry is deleted from the connector state without checking if the list is deleted

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run a connector instance in metadata-and-URL mode
2. Stop the SharePoint server
3. The connector's web service call for lists will fail with exceptions and 
the connector will delete the liststate from state file

What is the expected output? 
There should be an explicit HTTP 404 checkfor the particular list to verify  
that the list is deleted.

What do you see instead?
Any kind of failure for the web service makes the connector to delete the 
liststate which implies that in case the SharePoint server comes-up later 
all content in that list is re-crawled and fed to GSA

Relevant code is here:
WebState.endRecrawl()
