Description
## Bug Report
### 1. Minimal reproduce step (Required)

SELECT CAST('2020-01-01 a' AS DATETIME);
-- MySQL: 2020-01-01 00:00:00
-- TiDB: Null
```
### 2. What did you expect to see? (Required)
TiDB keeps the same behavior with MySQL since mentioned in the [Doc](https://docs.pingcap.com/tidb/stable/cast-functions-and-operators/#cast).
Or Document should emphasize this inconsistency.

-- MySQL: 2020-01-01 00:00:00
-- TiDB: Null
```
### 4. What is your TiDB version? (Required)
