This reverts commit b994b8e.

This caused regressions in ecosystem code. While the change originally
was semver-major and could be postponed until after Node.js 10,
I think reverting it is a good choice at this point.

Also, I personally do not think defaulting to a shallow inspect
is a bad thing at all – quite the opposite: It makes `util.inspect()`
give an overview of an object, rather than providing a full
display of its contents. Changing the `depth` default to infinity
fundamentally changed the role that `util.inspect()` plays,
and makes output much more verbose and thus at times unusable
for `console.log()`-style debugging.

Fixes: #19405
Refs: #17907

I can still reproduce the #19405 with https://nodejs.org/download/test/v10.0.0-test72549aa9cd/

Either the revert was not successful, or there is another cause.

72549aa looks like it's from master whereas this PR landed on v10.x-staging. The test builds for #19091 all appear to have a date in the directory name, e.g., https://nodejs.org/download/test/v10.0.0-test20180417fa00e9cc5b/

@richardlau Yes, sorry, I've tested with https://nodejs.org/download/rc/v10.0.0-rc.1/ and it is OK.
