Purge resources when done to save 8K of system heap

We now no longer need to persist our resources in the system heap for
later trap access, so we now let the system purge them after MacNTP
has run. This saves 8K of system heap.
If MacNTP did end up updating the clock, it sets up the MacTCP driver,
which stays resident in the system heap until the next reboot, bloating
the system heap by 16K. Nothing we can do about that, AFAIK.
I also yanked out two globals we no longer need.
