[Workbench] Top nav login link loses user's place in Workbench
Description
If I'm not logged in and open a link to a project I can access, I get access denied. However, after I log-in, I get redirected to the homepage, instead of back to the project, which is slightly annoying.

Nancy, please confirm:
Clicking the log in link within in the body of the Page not found error page (I notice you are not logged in. If you're looking for a private page, you'll need to log in first), does take me to the page that brought me to the error page.
However, clicking on the Log in link in the top navigation bar takes me to home page.

If I got to
https://workbench.su92l.arvadosapi.com/projects/su92l-j7d0g-swtofxa2rct8495
I get
Not Found The group with UUID su92l-j7d0g-swtofxa2rct8495 was not found.
Then I click "log in" on the top nav bar, and it goes to the homepage.
The log-in link inside the page itself totally works --
(I notice you are not logged in. If you're looking for a private page, you'll need to log in first.)
but I didn't notice it until you pointed it out.
So a quickfix would be to make that link bigger or look more like a button?

Thanks for clarifying Nancy.
I am also wondering if it would be feasible to use the same login link generation logic (as in the text "If you're looking for a private page, you'll need to log in first") for the Login link in the top navigation bar as well. So, it would either point to the page under consideration in a situation like you encountered or points to dashboard when no such scenario exists.

I agree, we should at least do this. No login link or button should forget the user's place in Workbench.

Clicking on the login link in top nav or the top nav hover dropdown links is resulting in the following error: {"errors":["#<NoMethodError: undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass>"],"error_token":"1447346070+a90d2159"}

Thanks for catching that. Ready for another look at 702ff97.

Now the login actions from topnav are working and the return URL is also preserved.
LGTM
