resolv.conf(5) is the configuration file for the DNS resolver in libc.
resolvconf(8) is a Debian package that intercepts attempts by various
other packages to mangle your /etc/resolv.conf file, and lets you control
how they can or cannot do so.
resolvconf(1) is apparently an alias for resolvctl(1) which is part of
systemd, and has absolutely nothing to do with ANYTHING, other than
getting in the way if a naive person (in this example, me) tries to
run "man resolvconf".
