Strange, it should be in /usr/share/jed/lib/ (at least here it is and AFAIK
it was in all versions of jed-common*.deb.

The function name is most_mode, so inside jed you can use M-x most-mode.

At startup you can use e.g.

   jed your-file.txt -f most_mode
   jed your-file.txt --most_mode
   jed your-file.txt --most-mode
  xjed your-file.txt -f most_mode
  xjed your-file.txt --most-mode

while with

   jed --most-mode your-file.txt
   
the most mode will be overwritten with txt_mode when the file is loaded.
