Problem:
==
From the following menual:
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/precision-math-decimal-characteristics.html
we can see that max value for decimal is 65 digit. 
However, in the first select the result `999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999000000000000000000000000000000000000` contains 82 digits, which has already out of range of decimal, but the type in `column-type-info` is `NEWDECIMAL`.

How to repeat:
select round(999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999199999999999999999999999999999999999,-36);
select round(9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999991999999999999999999999999999999999998,-37);

Suggested fix:
Truncation is expected for first select, to 65 digits.
