Walk the object and invoke the function on string types.

Why write yet-another cloner/walker? The primary reason is we also want to run
template functions on keys _and_ values which most clone things don't do.

@param {Object} input object to walk and duplicate.
@param {Function} handler handler to invoke on string types.
@param {?String} [key] key corresponding to input, if the latter is a value in object
