### Describe the issue

When I try to open some binary PLY files exported by Rhinos 6.0, Open3D raises an error and stops loading them. I think it is because of the non-Unix terminator CR LF used as line ending.

### Steps to reproduce the bug

```python
import open3d as o3d
cloud = o3d.io.read_point_cloud("Box.ply")
```

The PLY file is here:
https://github.com/cnr-isti-vclab/meshlab/files/3330082/Box.ply.zip

### Error message

```
[Open3D WARNING] Read PLY failed: unable to parse header.
RPly: Unexpected end of file
�����pi>'rouble transparencyaex_index by Rhinoceros Version 6.0
```

and also:
```
[Open3D WARNING] Read PLY failed: unable to parse header.
RPly: Token too large
-��B��Lâ� @'ble transparencyaex_index by Rhinoceros Version 6.0
```

### Expected behavior

It reads it correctly.

Assuming this philosophy:
