Currently, the schema changer uses a white list to determine which errors to be retired, which in some cases use a text comparison. Unfortunately, when we parse expressions their text can appear in the error and cause errors to be erroneously retried for backfills. To address this, this patch explicitly wraps errors from eval.Expr with SchemaChangerUserError to block retries.
Fixes: #141352
Release note (bug fix): Invalid default expressions could cause backfilling schema changes to retry forever
