Uint64 is represented as type:"string" in the swagger docs.

Please follow the general troubleshooting steps first:

• [ x ] Update your protoc to the latest version
• [ x ] Update your copy of grpc-gateway to the latest version from github. with
  git fetch https://github.com/grpc-ecosystem/grpc-gateway master && git reset --hard FETCH_HEAD
• [ x ] Delete the protoc-gen-grpc-gateway and protoc-gen-swagger binary from your PATH,
  and install locally built binaries.

Bug reports:

Steps you follow to reproduce the error:

1. create a message with one uint64 field
2. create a service using the message
3. generate swagger doc for it
4. it lists the type as {type: string, format: uint64}

What did you expect to happen instead:

The swagger doc should list the type as {type: integer, format: int64, min: 0}

What's your theory on why it isn't working:

The well-known-type Uint64 is hardcoded to map to the result we currently see.

This kind of thing has been discussed before at length: #438. Is this a fundamentally different issue? I will pre-emptively close this, but please let me know if I'm wrong.
