Add a `util.inspect.custom` Symbol which can be used to customize
`util.inspect()` output. Providing `obj[util.inspect.custom]`
works like providing `obj.inspect`, except that the former allows
avoiding name clashes with other `inspect()` methods.

If a custom inspection function returned `this`, use that value
for further formatting instead of going into infinite recursion.
This is particularly useful when combined with `util.inspect.custom`
because returning `this` from such a method makes it easy to
have an `inspect()` function that is ignored by `util.inspect` without
actually having to provide an alternative for custom inspection.
