Description
In some not so rare cases, when trying to get a centroid of a polygon, the point it returns is not even close to the polygon example:
SELECT AsText(ST_Centroid(ST_GeomFromText('POLYGON((141.473127 -31.949235,141.47322 -31.949187,141.473232 -31.949181,141.473238 -31.949186,141.473244 -31.94919,141.473254 -31.949198,141.473269 -31.94921,141.473311 -31.949243,141.47322 -31.949235,141.473231 -31.949199,141.473127 -31.949235))'))) |
Have tested this on MariaDB ver: 10.3.27 (what i'm using) and latest stable (10.5.9)
it shows a point ~600m away from the polygon. trying the exact same on MySQL ver: 5.7.20 & 8.0.22, the point is where you would expect it.
here is some GeoJSON to demonstrate the issue (use on GeoJSON.io):

It seems to be random, alter the polygon a little and it will work. its not just a freak accident as it has been brought up to me 8-10 times is the few months we have been using MariaDB over MySQL
