problem_statement: Removing an option from an `OptionList` when the mouse is hovering over the last item causes a crash
Given this code:

```python
from textual import on
from textual.app import App, ComposeResult
from textual.widgets import OptionList

class OptionListRemoveOnDeleteApp(App[None]):

    def compose(self) -> ComposeResult:
        yield OptionList(*[f"This is option {n}" for n in range(20)])

    @on(OptionList.OptionSelected)
    def remove_option(self, event: OptionList.OptionSelected) -> None:
        self.query_one(OptionList).remove_option_at_index(event.option_index)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    OptionListRemoveOnDeleteApp().run()
```

hover the mouse over the last item in the list, then either click on the last item, or hit <kbd>Enter</kbd>.  It will result in a `IndexError: list index out of range`.

At first glance it seems to be to do with the value of `_mouse_hovering_over`, which should possibly be reset to `None` when an option is removed (especially if the option that is hovered over is the option being removed *and* it's the last option); or [the test for drawing of a `mouse_over` line in `render_line` should do a double check that the hover option is still a known option](https://github.com/Textualize/textual/blob/74aa90f5ac3e9cbd5e002cf504241a9b2d257930/src/textual/widgets/_option_list.py#L927-L930).
