You can type it with `C-q RET'.

Hmm, it's not mentioned under `query-replace' in the manual, but the
section about incremental search [1] says that you can use `C-q' to
search for control characters.

[1] In isearch you can just do `C-j' to search for eol, though.  Maybe
it's a little inconsistent that it doesn't work in query-replace.
