    Description

      To reproduce

      1. Having a course with groups A and B, create a forum activity with its Groups mode set to "Separate groups"
      2. Create a discussion for Group B.
      3. Delete Group B
      4. Check the forum_discussions table.
      5. You'll see that the discussion for Group B still contains group B's ID in the "groupid" column.

      This orphaned discussion won't be rendered in the UI anymore. So we need to do something about this. Either:

      1. We delete the group discussion; or
      2. Remove the group ID, exposing the forum discussion to all the course participants.

      Other suggestions/ideas welcome.
