The val_int() is always returning a longlong. This is ok as the
storage space of longlong and ulonglong are idential and longlong can
easily be cast to ulonglong.
MySQL/MariaDB has a flag for each field (unsigned_flag) and item that
tells if the longlong value should be regarded as signed or unsigned
value.
I checked the Item_func_last_insert_id() function and you are right
that it's not declared as an unsigned function.
This is probably wrong, however it's not 100 % clear if changing it to
unsigned is the best way to go as the auto_increment column may be
signed or unsigned.
I will look into it if we can change it in MariaDB to be unsigned
without causing any backward compatibility problems.
