[2.6.3][VNFM] remove_tributary does not work if Horse Lords is not enabled

[DC123456789]

The remove_tributary command doesn't work if Horse Lords is not enabled - the tooltip shows up, but nothing happens. This is relevant because tributaries can still appear in a non-Horse Lords game if scripted in history.

For example, here's an event that removes a tributary's overlord:

namespace = "Test"
character_event = {
    id = test.1
    title = "EVTNAMETEST1"
    desc = "EVTDESCTEST1"
    picture = "GFX_evt_court"
   
    is_triggered_only = yes
   
    option = {
        name = "EVTOPTATEST1"
        suzerain = {
            remove_tributary = ROOT
        }
    }
}

The mod can be downloaded here.

Ingame, the tooltip is as expected:

However, after the event triggers, I'm still a tributary:

The event works fine with Horse Lords enabled.

Tributaries are limited to Horse Lords from memory and shouldn't be available without the DLC.

They can appear ingame if scripted in the history, and have always been so.

Which is closer to a bug but not really. Tributary will be removed on death of the overlord, which has limited effect on the game. No new tributaries should than be added to non-dlc games.

Those commands will be DLC locked and I doubt that will be changed for a small group of characters.

For modding purposes, however, this has the potential to be rather problematic.

It would be reasonable to DLC-lock only `make_tributary`, while allowing `remove_tributary` for such edge cases.
