Problem converting page layout from source to metadata format

[yeanchiat]

Summary

Try converting a custom object's page layout from source to metadata format, but all other page layouts of that particular custom object get converted as well.

Steps To Reproduce:

1. Specify a custom object's page layout (just 1 page layout) in manifest (package.xml)
2. Run sfdx force:source:convert -d mdapi -x force-app\main\default\package.xml

Expected result

Expect to see 1 page layout (the one specified in manifest) being converted in the output directory.

Actual result

All other page layouts (including the one specified in manifest) related to the custom object being converted into metadata format and appear in the output directory.
