 Constructor for the `Point` domain using keyword arguments.

+All other ClimaLSM domains rely on default comms set internally
+by ClimaCore. However, the Point space is unique in this context,
+and does not have the same default defined in ClimaCore. 
+Because of this, we set the default here
+in ClimaLSM. In long term, we will repeat the same for all ClimaLSM domains
+and not rely on any internal defaults set in ClimaCore.
