Repository: UXARRAY/uxarray

Issue:
`_slice_from_grid` may need to use coords from a sliced dataarray
### Version

v2024.08.2

### How did you install UXarray?

Conda

### What happened?

`_slice_from_grid` in UxDataArray create a new subset dataarray using coordinates info from the original dataarray as shown in the lines below:
https://github.com/UXARRAY/uxarray/blob/f71e11bef0fabe3ac74767767ad0509cef5cf504/uxarray/core/dataarray.py#L1099-L1106

This does not cause an issue when the original dataarray does not have coordinates that are sliced, but the constructor fails otherwise with a conflicting size for dimension. Probably a better or a right approach is creating a new sliced dataarray with coordinates from the sliced `d_var` not from the original `self`.

### What did you expect to happen?

A new sliced (subset) dataarray needs to be created with a correctly sliced coordinate variables, not from the original unsliced coordinate variables.

### Can you provide a MCVE to repoduce the bug?

_No response_
