Description

Hi folks, is there any way to generate a (type:string,format:uuid) as go-type "uuid.UUID"?

Yaml-Definition:

thing_id:
  type: string
  format: uuid

Generated code:

ThingId string `json:"thing_id"`

Expected code:

import (
	"github.com/google/uuid"
)

ThingId uuid.UUID `json:"thing_id"`

Used latest generator V3.0.29:

java -jar jars/swagger-codegen-cli-3.0.29.jar generate -l go-server -i "openapi.yaml" -o swagger

Research direction

Start with the go-server generator and the generation command shown in the issue, then trace how OpenAPI string fields with format uuid are mapped to Go types. Compare the generated ThingId with the expected uuid.UUID form; done means the mapping and required import are generated correctly without changing unrelated fields.
