You could include qapi-types-migration.h and use the actual enum, that
avoids the burden of having to keep the tests in sync with the code.

(I don't think keeping the caps in sync with the current-version tests
would break the compat tests, but please consider that as well)

And a generic helper that calls migrate_set_capability() for any
capabilites set. That solves the capabilities issue for all tests. We
can then move some default parameters setting into that function and
that should already reduce the number of hooks needed.

You can include it in this series or send a separate one, whatever is
easier for you. But we need to base this one on top of it eventually, I
would just send everything at once.
