You can cage trolls
They can topple certain constructions.
They're immune to the atom smasher.
You can butcher trolls for their valuable bones.

They can topple certain constructions.
Only ones which are under construction.  Nothing can demolish finished constructions.

Are you sure?  I haven't atom-smashed any, but I have sent many a troll plummeting to magmariffic doom by retracting bridges under them many times, and retracting bridges use the same size limit as atomsmashers.  Checking the raws shows that trolls have a size of 250000, which is smaller than that of many domestic animals who I know can be atomsmashed.

Goblins do bring other pets such as jabberers and rutherers which are bridge-immune, and if one of them were standing on a drawbridge at the same time as a troll it would prevent the bridge from activating.

I'm guessing he's referring to doors, workshops, statues, supports and the like.

Those are buildings, not constructions.
