[MDEV-11439] No data type JSON, but CAST(something AS JSON) pretends to work - Jira

MariaDB [test]> SELECT CAST('foo' AS JSON);

+---------------------+

| CAST('foo' AS JSON) |

+---------------------+

| foo                 |

+---------------------+

1 row in set (0.00 sec)

I don't think it makes any sense. We don't even have format JSON, how can we pretend we can CAST to it? And it's not even a valid JSON text.
