fix(cdk/overlay): ensure error isn't thrown when many overlay items are closed from handler

When an event handler listening to the `outsidePointerEvents` observable closes out any open
overlays this removes them from the OverlayOutsideClickDispatcher's array of overlay elements. This
results in an error being thrown since the overlays array in the for-loop is modified (elements are
removed) and the counter not accounting for this. This fix ensures that if the array of overlay
refs is modified we don't get an off by 1 error when fetching an element from the array on
subsequent iterations of the loop.
