Problem:
=====
Implicit and Explicit convert from bigint unsigned to signed gives different value.
Truncation is expected for convert(9223372036854775808, signed), and result 9223372036854775807  is expected.

How to repeat:

set sql_mode='';
drop table if exists t1;
create table t1(c1 bigint);
insert into t1 values(9223372036854775808);
select c1, convert(9223372036854775808, signed) from t1;

Suggested fix:
Truncation is expected for convert(9223372036854775808, signed), and result 9223372036854775807  is expected.

Even more inconsistencies:
select convert('9223372036854775808', signed) 
| Warning | 1105 | Cast to signed converted positive out-of-range integer to it's negative complement |

1105 is 'unknown error'
