By advise of Eli, using `move-to-column' that insert spaces if
necessary:
(defun goto-x-y-unconditionally (x y)
"Goto to line X, char Y unconditionally."
(let ((lines (count-lines (point-min) (point-max))))
(when (< lines x)
(goto-char (point-max))
(insert "\n" (make-string (- x lines) ?\n)))
(goto-line x)
(goto-char (point-at-bol))
(move-to-column y t)))
