[BUG][RUST-SERVER] binary strings should not be base64 encoded

[lelongg]

The rust-server code generator handles binary and byte string format the same way. Both are base64 encoded automatically while binary strings should not perform this transformation as stated in OAS3.2.

Description

The formats defined by the OAS are:

type	format	Comments
string	byte	base64 encoded characters
string	binary	any sequence of octets

openapi-generator version

Tested with docker image openapitools/openapi-generator-cli with version 4.0.1-SNAPSHOT.

Issue #538 mentions binary and byte string but doesn't mention how they should be handled differently.

Vec<u8> should be used for binary string instead ofswagger::ByteArray.
