Increase FEC resilliancy with low traffic

Duplicate first packet to increase resilliancy in cases when the traffic
is low, usually a single packet of some inter-frame compression like
H.264/HEVC. But it will similarly do the job when more packets per frame
are used.

First packet is duplicated instead of the last one because the last packet
can have less symbols than the first if there is more than 1
packet, eg. `DDDD|DF` (D - primary data; F - FEC, | - packet bounadry).

refers to GH-361
