BUG Fix: repair the drop conditions for rare followers of the New World races (test version)

In this mod we fix the bug that prevent rare followers of the new world races to drop at the beginnings of each turn.

According to the script data.pack/script/export_ancillaries__.lua, many followers should randomly drop if:
1. a character have stayed in player owned regions for at least 1 turn;
2. certain buildings have been constructed in the region that the character is currently staying, at the beginning of this turn.
However, bugs appeared in the script such that some of those followers never correctly drop in vanilla.


=================MECHANISM(for developers only)======================


E.g.: Sapherian Bibliothecary is a follower of High Elf that rarely drops. In vanilla, from the script file we have:

function wh2_main_trig_general_constructed_building_hef_library_of_hoeth_impl (context)
return context:character():has_region() and context:character():turns_in_own_regions() >= 1 and (region_has_superchain(context:character():region(), "wh2_main_special_tower_of_hoeth"))

CA have made a mistake here: For the above function region_has_superchain(), the correct inputs should be (region, "superchain"), while "wh2_main_special_tower_of_hoeth" is a key of "building_chain" instead of its superchain.

Let us replace "wh2_main_special_tower_of_hoeth" to its superchain key "wh2_main_sch_special_tower_of_hoeth", then the follower can be dropped.


In addition, CA did not fix another bug that followers many randomly drop for characters in settlement garrisons: which is the reason why you kept get the follower "Estalian Diestro" even if you put no mobile characters in Estalia. We fix this bug as well for the above new world followers.

In this mod, for every event that require building superchains for the implement of followers, we modify its trigger function, such that the followers can correctly drop. Take the above example for Sapherian Bibliothecary, we replaced the vanilla function wh2_main_trig_general_constructed_building_hef_library_of_hoeth_impl (context) into:


function wh2_main_trig_general_constructed_building_hef_library_of_hoeth_impl (context)
return context:character():has_region() and context:character():turns_in_own_regions() >= 1 and (region_has_superchain(context:character():region(), "wh2_main_sch_special_tower_of_hoeth")) and (context:character():character_type("general") and not context:character():military_force():is_armed_citizenry())
end

=================COMPATIBILITY======================

Save games compatible, also compatible with other mod who does not change the script file data/script/export_ancillaries__.lua

====================MOD说明========================

新世界首发四族的各种罕见随从，现在可以正常掉落了：例如，高精的图书馆管理员，凤凰学徒，爱莎祭司等等。
这些随从过去不能正常掉落的原因是游戏bug，而非游戏机制。

获得随从方式：让角色/将领待在建造了特殊建筑的己方地区内至少一回合，即有概率获得该随从。
例如：
荷斯白塔（for 图书馆管理员，仅限将军）；
法师塔（for 凤凰学徒 与 草药医生，所有角色均可掉落）；
永恒女王庭院（for 爱莎祭祀，仅限将军）...

不需重新开档，与所有未修改data.pack/script/export_ancillaries__.lua的mod兼容。

=================UPDATE AND REBALANCE (CHANGELOG)======================
03.10.2019
Drop rate are now re-balanced to <=10% for normal buildings and 25% for landmark buildings.

Only characters who can equip the rare followers will trigger the ancillary drop events.

If a character is equipping a rare follower at the end of this turn, he/she cannot trigger this rare follower's drop event at the beginning of the next turn, as well.
