bug#45199: 28.0.50; [PATCH] Make goto-char offer the number at point as default

[Daniel Martín]

My use case (there may be many) comes from working with PDFs at a low
level.  If you open a PDF file in fundamental-mode, towards the end of
the file you'll see text that resembles the following:

xref
0 26
0000000000 65535 f 
0000006459 00000 n 

This is a table where the first column contains file offsets that point
to where the PDF objects are defined.  I wanted to place the point on
the "0000006459", do M-g c, and easily go to file offset 6459 to see the
definition of the PDF object number 1 ("1 0 obj").  goto-char is useful
here because PDF files are open as unibyte in Emacs.

If you also find the behavior generally useful, feel free to install it
for Emacs 28.

Thanks.
