[PATCH] am: fix patch format detection for Thunderbird "Save As" emails

The patch detection wants to inspect all the headers of a rfc2822 message and ensure that they look like header field names. The headers are always separated from the message body with a blank line. When Thunderbird3 saves the message the blank line separating the headers from the body includes a CR. The patch detection is failing because a CRLF doesn't match /^$/. Fix this by allowing a CR to exist on the separating line. ---

I'm not sure how portable \r in a sed invocation is. Perhaps just checking that l1, l2, and l3 are rfc2822 header fields (or indented lines) is better than trying to check all of the headers?

This seems related to
  am fails to apply patches for files with CRLF lineendings
  http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/135229

but seems necessary because check_patch_format() is called before any splitting with mailsplit is done (where I assume the fix for the issue will be done).
