Describe the bug you're encountering

The /stage POST service described in the YAML above takes a file. When I view the UI for the service rendered by the Swagger editor at https://editor.swagger.io (swagger-editor-bundle.js, swagger-editor-standalone-preset.js), a file picker is shown.
When I view the UI for the service rendered by the Swagger UI (swagger-ui-bundle.js, swagger-ui-standalone-preset.js), a textbox is shown. I've tried installing the Swagger UI dist files locally, running the swaggerapi/swagger-ui Docker image, and using https://validator.swagger.io. Results are the same for all three.

It appears to me from this stack overflow question that the behavior was fixed in Swagger Editor in 2018, but that fix wasn't made in Swagger UI. I also realize that this could be related to issue 5636, but am not completely sure.

To reproduce...

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Render the YAML above in the Swagger UI
2. Expand the POST stage/ service. See that a text box is shown rather than a file picker.
3. Render the YAML above in the Swagger Editor at https://editor.swagger.io
4. Expand the POST stage/ service. See that a file picker is shown, which is what should be shown.

Expected behavior

Swagger UI should show a file picker for services with requestBody item of type=string and format=binary

validator.swagger.io needs to get an updated version of swagger-ui. File upload dialog displays properly on my local dev version of swagger-ui
