changefeedccl: shorten random expressions test and remove npe

This test is mysteriously being marked failed occasionally,
which I suspect is somehow a result of the needless null pointer
exception being thrown if a changefeed errors on create. This
fixes that, and also reduces the test size by 90% to ensure no
timeouts.

Fixes #96052

Release note: None
