Some RTSP servers ("HiIpcam/V100R003 VodServer/1.0.0") respond to
our keepalive GET_PARAMETER request by a truncated RTSP header
(lacking the final empty line to indicate a complete response
header). Prior to 764ec70149, this worked just fine since we
reacted to the $ as interleaved packet indicator anywhere.

Since $ is a valid character within the response header lines,
764ec70149 changed it to be ignored there. But to keep
compatibility with such broken servers, we need to at least
allow reacting to it at the start of lines.

I think doing this should be pretty safe; no valid RTSP response
(nor request) header line should start with a $ as far as I know.
(It is valid within the actual content of the header lines though.)

Unrelatedly, we could also skip sending the keepalive requests
completely when using tcp as transport method. That would avoid
this issue, but wouldn't be a complete fix in itself.

This fixes playback of -rtsp_transport tcp rtsp://176.106.65.249:555/12
(which currently breaks once the first keepalive message is sent),
broken since 764ec70149.
