PR #3901 added the `--output-dir` option to the `retrieve_components` task. When `output_dir` was `None`, it used the target (e.g. `force-app`) as the value. The Salesforce CLI rejects using a package directory as the output directory, so this caused an error reported in #3918. This commit builds the sfdx args without `--output-dir` by default. It appends `--output-dir <path>` only when `output_dir` is not `None`. This lets the CLI select the default output dir when output_dir is not given. When output_dir is not set, files go to the package directory from the manifest, as the CLI expects.
