test(quartz): drive nip40 expiration test through projection directly

Replace the wall-clock dance with a direct EventStoreProjection
construction wired to a controllable nowProvider. Both events are
inserted with expirations safely in the future so the SQL
reject_expired_events trigger never fires; the test then bumps the
fake clock and replays the StoreChange.DeleteExpired the observable
would emit after a sweep. Tests the projection's reaction to the
sweep signal — which is what this case was always about — without a
6s real-time delay or a flake window. Full SQL sweep behavior
remains covered by ExpirationTest.testDeletingExpiredEvents.
