util: improve error inspection

When inspecting errors with extra properties while setting the
compact option to false, it will now return:

[Error: foo] {
    at repl:1:5
    at Script.runInThisContext (vm.js:89:20)
  bla: true
}

Instead of:

Error: foo
    at repl:1:5
    at Script.runInThisContext (vm.js:91:20) {
  bla: true
}
