ValidStateMonitor: Consider scalar diff to affect all indexes

Classifications often yield scalar results.  Since those results are
used directly in the diff, we have the situation where the expected
diff format (an array) is not provided.  Consistent with the rest of
the system, we should consider a scalar to affect every index.

* src/validate/ValidStateMonitor.js (_checkCauseFix): Consider scalar
    diffs to affect every index when checking for fixes.
* test/validate/ValidStateMonitorTest.js: Add test.
