Default's for MarkovConsumerType don't work. #1478

Description

Describe the bug
The default constructor for the income distributions for MarkovConsumerType don't create unique distributions for each state, leading HARK to throw an error.

To Reproduce
Run:

from HARK.ConsumptionSaving.ConsMarkovModel import MarkovConsumerType
MarkovExample = MarkovConsumerType()
MarkovExample.solve()

Expected behavior
The model should solve without issue.

Error message:
File ~\Desktop\Econ Ark Work\HARK\HARK\ConsumptionSaving\ConsMarkovModel.py:821, in MarkovConsumerType.check_markov_inputs(self)
[819] for IncShkDstn_t in self.IncShkDstn:
