   ### Platforms affected
   iOS
   
   ### What does this PR do?
   Resolves an issue where a regex was overly greedy when comparing plist entries for merging and could result in collapsing several of them into a single entry.
   
   ### What testing has been done on this change?
   Added a test that fails with current master and passes with this change, based on the details provided by @knight9999 in the JIRA bug. It sounds like this might be the cause of GH-44 as well (/fyi @donnie-jp).
   
   Now, my fix assumes that we're always looking for `$(something)` and not just `$something`, which *might* not be a safe assumption. Unfortunately I'm not well-versed enough in iOS stuff to know :(

>    Affects Versions: 2.1.0
>         Environment: Mac OSX

> In the src/util/plist-helpers.js, in the nodeEqual function,
> ```
> node2 = escapeRE(node2).replace(/\\\$\S+/gm, '(.*?)');
> ```
> seems the strange behavior.
> For example, the escaped node2 "$(ABC)Hello" becomes "(.*?)".
> In the previous version of this code is
> ```
> node2 = escapeRE(node2).replace(new RegExp('\\$[a-zA-Z0-9-_]+','gm'),'(.*?)');
> ```
> in this case, the escaped node2 "$(ABC)Hello" is unchaned.
