util: fix numericSeparator with negative fractional numbers

Fix util.inspect() formatting bug where negative fractional numbers
between -1 and 0 lost their minus sign when numericSeparator was true.
Fixed formatNumber function to preserve sign by using original string
representation. Also corrected test expectations for scientific notation
to not apply numeric separators.
