util: allow returning `this` from custom inspect
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.
