lv_manip: avoid removing LV when converting

In some cases we use 'creation' also during conversion.
Here it can be actually unwanted side effect we may remove
not just newly created layers - but also original converted LV.

So until we make clear how to properly revert from some errors
in middle of conversion, disable removal for any 'lvconvert' commands.
