Expose Poisson reconstruction parameters

Expose 5 important parameters in CreateFromPointCloudPoisson that were
previously hardcoded:
- full_depth: Minimum depth for density estimation (default: 5)
- samples_per_node: Minimum sample points per octree node (default: 1.5)
- point_weight: Point interpolation weight (default: 4.0)
- confidence: Normal confidence weighting exponent (default: 0.0)
- exact_interpolation: Use exact constraints (default: false)

This allows fine-tuning of surface reconstruction quality and performance.
All parameters have sensible defaults matching previous behavior.
Fully backward compatible.

Fixes #7248
