Searching with Hoogle (haskell.org/hoogle) finds it immediately:

  http://www.haskell.org/hoogle/?q=system

It now lives in System.Process, and is also re-exported by System.Cmd
(the latter should be preferred if you only want to use the 'system'
function and do not need any of the more complex interface provided by
System.Process).
