[FR]: Allow fetching feeds with Blank line before XML declaration #1403

Brief description of the feature request

A common problem in many RSS feeds is a blank line before XML Declaration. Many feed readers are able to overcome this error and still display the feed. I think we should add the ability to read feeds that have this error in them as it is very common and doesn't really affect the data.
