And to cut down how much you need to search, it is almost certain to be
a contrib module, not core so under likely under sites/all/modules
(unless you are using multi-site) and is very likely to be in the
modules *.info file (if it made the changes on install/upgrade). If you
have shell access, the needed grep should be fairly quick, even if you
don't limit to just *.info
