There are none, only bitcoin core source code + bips + tests from https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/tree/master/src/test/data
You'll need implement basic bitcoin first,  then bip143 hash (this gives bitcoin cash implementation almost for free), then p2sh, then segwit tx validation.
Umm, no. That's completely wrong. Electrum supports segwit out of the box. When you create a wallet, there is an option for Legacy or Segwit. Choosing Segwit lets you use bech32 addresses. It's super easy.

For Bitcoin Core, once 0.16.0 is released, it will use p2sh wrapped segwit by default.
