Description of change

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.

Fixes: #8071 (closed)

I’d appreciate feedback both on the symbol’s name and the way I changed the docs on custom inspection functions.
